i'm an adult - please treat me like a child

i try really hard to support local establishments - especially restaurants. i didn't used to care all that much, but now it's more of a big deal to me. but a couple of major restaurants in town are not helping me help them. in both places i have been barred from ordering off of the kids' menu. sometimes i'm hungry, and sometimes i also have money. in those cases i'm more than willing to pay for a full entree. but sometimes i just want a burger or i don't wanna spend so much money. and in the case of the restaurant last night, the burger was ONLY on the kids' menu (along with chicken strips - which i also love). what gives? isn't this somehow unconstitutional? i promise i'm an adult, and if i want to order off of the kids' menu you should let me. i have the money - i will decide what food i want. how can you deny me food based on my age? that's totally discrimination. i see a sit-in on the horizon. watch out dixie castle and catfish cabin!

pastor dave's parenting advice

maybe this is too broad a generalization to support, but i'm gonna go ahead and say that if you are walking around wal-mart with a screaming infant at eight past midnight you probably don't need to save room on your mantle for that "parent of the year" award. i mean really people, what's going on? i know i'm not a parent, but then again, perhaps you aren't either. common sense - not so common after all.
